Season Format
The POL1 season consists of 2 stages. In the first stage, each POL1 team plays the other 15 POL1 teams in Home-Away matches (30 league matches per team). The second stage consists of the Championship Round and the Relegation Round. In the Championship Round, the top 8 teams play each other a 3rd time (7 more matches, 37 total league matches per team) to determine final rankings for 2020-2021 UEFA Champions League and 2020-2021 UEFA Europa League placements. In the Relegation Round, the bottom 8 teams play each other a 3rd time (7 more matches, 37 total league matches per team) to determine the relegation placements. Table ranking ties are broken by (1) head-to-head points, (2) head-to-head goal difference, (3) head-to-head goals scored, (4) head-to-head away goals scored (if only 2 teams), (5) goal difference, (6) goals scored, (7) Fairplay ranking, then (8) a draw.
